You can do this by creating a layer group within the view filter manager and keeping that group off. It will not turn back on unless you check the box or select a layer within the group/right click and select view all. To setup a new group do the following.

- Go to the project tab

- Select Layer Groups under the Layers Section

- Select the "New" button at the bottom and name your new group (you should now see the group in your view filter manager)

- Now go to your Layer Manger found under the Project tab and look to the right side of the pop up menu, you will see a column named "Group" here you can either move existing layers to a preferred group or when you create new layers set them to that group.

- After moving your layers to the preferred group just make sure the group/layers is not checked in the view filter manager and the layers will never show up unless you recheck the box/layers.
